Soldiers,
Take a look at the new CBRN molded AirBoss® lightweight overboots (MALO).
The official name in FED LOG is
overshoes, nuclear, biological and chemical contaminates protective.
The new MALO is made of antistatic butyl rubber and protects you from chemical agents. Plus it fits on either foot. No need to check if it’s a right or left boot.
